How To Shoot Pictures Of Airplanes In Flight

This is a really cool article about shooting pictures of airplanes for magazine covers and advertising prints. It turns out, that the best platform to shoot pictures of planes from is a B-25 Mitchell bomber.

The writer says that he gets into the tail gunner position on a B-25 harnesses in and then takes his shots. Not quite the kind of shooting at planes that the designers had in mind, but it's good to know that they're still using the position on the plane for something.

Here's a picture of the tail gunner position from my flickr page:
